The accounting procedure starts with analysing minutess and events. Not all minutess and events are entered into the accounting system. Merely those that pertain to the concern entity are included in the procedure. The minutess identified are so analyzed to find the histories affected and the sums to be recorded. A diary is a book in which minutess are recorded. Business minutess are recorded utilizing the double-entry clerking system. To simplify the recording procedure. particular diaries are frequently used for minutess that recur often such as gross revenues. purchases. hard currency grosss. and hard currency expenses. A leger is a aggregation of histories that shows the alterations made to each history as a consequence of past minutess. and their current balances. After the poster procedure. the balances of each history can so be determined. All additions and lessenings in hard currency will be entered into one leger history. A test balance is prepared to prove the equality of the debits and credits. All history balances are extracted from the leger and arranged in one study. Afterwards. all debit balances are added. All recognition balances are besides added.

The entire debits should be equal to entire debits. Adjusting entries are prepared as an application of the accrual footing of accounting. At the terminal of the accounting period. some disbursals may hold been incurred but non yet recorded in the diaries. Some income may hold been earned but non entered in the books. Adjusting entries are prepared to hold the histories updated before they are summarized into the fiscal statements. An adjusted test balance may be prepared after seting entries are made and before the fiscal statements are prepared. This is to prove if the debits are equal to credits after seting entries are made.

When the histories are already up-to-date and equality between the debits and credits has been tested. the fiscal statements can now be prepared. The fiscal statements are the end-products of an accounting system. Temporary or nominal histories. such as income statement histories. are closed to fix them for the following accounting period. Impermanent histories include income. disbursal. and withdrawal histories. Closing entries are made merely for impermanent histories. The last measure is to fix a post-closing test balance. It is prepared to prove the equality of debits and credits after shuting entries are made. Since impermanent histories are already closed at this point. the post-closing test balance contains existent histories merely.
